Module: mrxcruisemissile.lua
Overview
The MrxCruiseMissile module is responsible for managing the deployment and behavior of cruise missiles in the game. It extends the functionality provided by the MrxSupport module to handle specific aspects related to cruise missile support, such as designation, bombing runs, and explosions.
Inheritance
- Inherits from:
MrxSupport - Imports:
MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon
Instance pattern
This is a per-instance object module (keyed by uGuid). It tracks the following key fields:
sDeliveryVehicle: The name of the delivery vehicle used for cruise missiles.uDeliveryVehicle: The GUID of the delivery vehicle.sBomb: The name of the bomb projectile.uBomb: The GUID of the bomb projectile.uOwner: The GUID of the player who owns the missile support.uJet: The GUID of the jet used for the bombing run.uSpawnedBomb: The GUID of the spawned bomb projectile.
Functions
Create(self, uPlayerGuid)
Creates a new per-instance table for the cruise missile support using the module’s prototype. Initializes the designator beacon, sets the owner and recruit, and configures the delivery vehicle and bomb details.
DesignationCallback(self)
Called when the designation process is complete. Handles the calculation of spawn and target positions, spawns the jet for the bombing run, and starts a voice-over sequence based on the player’s faction.
DropBomb(self)
Handles the dropping of the bomb projectile from the jet. Calculates the vector towards the target, spawns the bomb, and sets up the explosion callback.
BombExplodes(self)
Called when the bomb explodes. Removes the target object if it exists and logs a debug message indicating the explosion.
Events
- Listens for custom event (not explicitly defined in this file) to trigger the designation process.
- Listens for custom event (not explicitly defined in this file) to handle the bombing run and bomb drop.
Notes for modders
- Ensure that
Createis called appropriately when initializing cruise missile support. - Customize the delivery vehicle and bomb details by setting fields like
sDeliveryVehicleandsBomb. - Be aware of the voice-over sequences triggered based on the player’s faction, which can be modified or extended as needed.
